The San Francisco Citizen

Well, at least for this particularly oddly-shaped piece of real estate on Main Street near Folsom, the answer is this many:

“Last in, last out.” Click to expand.

It might be a pain to park here, under the shadow of the new Infinity San Francisco towers, but at least you won’t get the boot, or get into a chain reaction accident, or get all messy. Of course, if you work for San Francisco Honda, then just park wherever - the sidewalk, for example. 

Lastly, DO NOT PAY THIS MAN! 

Now you’re all set.

It looks like the people at KPIX CBS-5 had it right last year when they repeatedly reported on the “parking hustle,” which involves people posing as lot attendants and pocketing some quick cash. Some parkers, such as Shane, get major bummed when they find out later on that they also need to pay the parking lot owner.

Why don’t people pay the actual real attendent? Because there isn’t one on duty in most cases. Why? Because that would cost money. But the folks over at Central Parking have found a way to warn drivers by posting a photo of one of the alleged imposters. How thoughtful.
